In MovieMaker‘s Summer 2017 issue, Jeremy Renner describes his performance as Cory Lambert in Wind River as follows: “I played [him] like a barrel of water with a slow leak… what a piece of steel would look like when you bent it against a piece of granite.”

The physical nature of that analogy was translated by Sandro Baebler in his stark, evocative portraits of Renner, co-star Elizabeth Olsen and director Taylor Sheridan, taken in Los Angeles in June 2017. Check out Baebler’s (mostly) stone-faced, windswept shots here. (Bonus points to anyone who holds their own staring contest and wins.)
